Reading 13 December 2001's Working Draft of XML 1.1, I believe that
Section 2.3, 'Common Syntactic Constructs', should read:

      Char  ::=  [#x1-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-FDCF] | [#FDF0-#xFFFD] |
      [#x10000-#x1FFFD] | [#x20000-#x2FFFD] | [#x30000-#x3FFFD] |
      [#x40000-#x4FFFD] | [#x50000-#x5FFFD] | [#x60000-#x6FFFD] |
      [#x70000-#x7FFFD] | [#x80000-#x8FFFD] | [#x90000-#x9FFFD] |
      [#xA0000-#xAFFFD] | [#xB0000-#xBFFFD] | [#xC0000-#xCFFFD] |
      [#xD0000-#xDFFFD] | [#xE0000-#xEFFFD] | [#xF0000-#xFFFFD] |
      [#x100000-#x10FFFD]

These are all the possible code points of Unicode 3.1, excluding all
noncharacters. This should also get incorporated in 'NameStartChar',
changing it to:

      NameStartChar  :=  ":" | [A-Z] | "_" | [a-z] | [#xC0-#x02FF] |
      [#x0370-#x037D] | [#x037F-#x2027] | [#x202A-#x218F] | [#x2800-#xD7FF]
      | [#xE000-#xFDCF] | [#xFDF0-#xFFEF] | [#x10000-#x1FFFD] |
      [#x20000-#x2FFFD] | [#x30000-#x3FFFD] | [#x40000-#x4FFFD] |
      [#x50000-#x5FFFD] | [#x60000-#x6FFFD] | [#x70000-#x7FFFD] |
      [#x80000-#x8FFFD] | [#x90000-#x9FFFD] | [#xA0000-#xAFFFD] |
      [#xB0000-#xBFFFD] | [#xC0000-#xCFFFD] | [#xD0000-#xDFFFD] |
      [#xE0000-#xEFFFD] | [#xF0000-#xFFFFD] | [#x100000-#x10FFFD]

Please note that in your current definition of NameStartChar, you have
also mistakenly written FDE0 instead of FDF0 (as that noncharacter range 
ends at FDEF).

Best,
